Sha Chen was unaware that someone was already scheming against him. Li Changgeng merely wished for his downfall, but Matchmaker wanted his life.

He had already been cautious enough, yet someone still wished for his death.

Having reached the level of Greater Primordial Golden Immortal in his cultivation, he had a faint premonition of fate's designs. He had sensed that someone wanted to harm him. However, he didn't know who it was.
